About this Recipe Makeover

Replacing salt with fresh herbs and spices adds a new dimension to a dish. Additionally, by decreasing the eggs and flour, and by omitting the cheese, this made-over gnocchi is high in flavor, yet lower in calories, fat and sodium.

Directions:

To make gnocchi, knead the potato mixture into a ball and separate into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 1/2-inch thick roll and cut into small pieces. Cook in batches in boiling salted water for 10 to 15 minutes. When the gnocchi float to the surface they are ready.

SAUCE: While the gnocchi is cooking, sauté onion and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in wine, tomatoes with juice, tomato paste, brown sugar, and basil; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve sauce over cooked gnocchi.
